Miss Kerry 2016, Niamh Enright, photographed by Padraig Healy of Evoque Photography last night.
THE Miss Kerry 2016 competition took place in Killarney on Saturday night and it was a Listowel woman who took home the crown.
Over 200 people saw Niamh Enright, sponsored by Trant’s Pharmacy Listowel, chosen by judges Aideen Feely, Pawel Nowak and Miss Kerry 2016, Mairead Breathnach, from 20 contestants at The Brehon Hotel.
Tralee woman Shannon Lonergan, representing Debenhams, was runner-up in the contest as was Blather Griffin representing CH Chemists.
Radio Kerry’s Brendan Fuller was the MC for the evening and did a great job interviewing the ladies who came from all corners of the county. The audience were also entertained by the Cassie Leen School of Dance in Tralee and singer Claudia Rose.
We were there to take photos of the ladies just before the start of the night while rehearsing on the catwalk. Scroll down for photos (we’ll have many more tomorrow)…
